last league matches of the season. any people gunning for promotion or to avoid relegation or a playoff? I've got 2nd place clinched and am playing away to the 3rd place team. End of Over 3: 8-1, runrate=2.67 Rose 2-0-6-1 Bullivant* 1 (7 balls) Nosworthy 6 (9 balls) they won the toss and decided to bat on a flat pitch, but it is humid and cloudy so it's not 100% batsmen friendly.
End of Over 15: 66-1, runrate=4.40 Rose 3-0-16-0 Bullivant* 30 (51 balls) Nosworthy 32 (37 balls) would def like some more wickets right about now!
Having one of my best ever batting results: Flanels v Atlanta Mosquitos (209837) End of Over 48: 324-5, runrate=6.75
End of Over 8: 53-1, runrate=6.63, reqrunrate=4.50 (241-10) Bailey 4-0-30-1 Spearitt* 23 (19 balls) Coleman 24 (24 balls) good chase. bowled them out before 50 overs, and my best bowler took 7-49. his first 5 wicket haul!!
I'm locked into 5th. At risk of scotching my morale for the qualifier, I'm playing this one (somewhat) easy, TIE with Seargeant out of the lineup. Posted a low total, so the bowlers are going to have some work to do to defend it -- which usually means I'm doomed .
Playing for the league championship and promotion to the Windies Premier. Los Burritos v Carib Beer XI (209333). Batted first and put up a solid 284. Bowling now: End of Over 20: 105-0, runrate=5.25, reqrunrate=6.00 (284-8). Wick 5-1-12-0 Beadle* 37 (62 balls) Eyre 63 (59 balls) I'm playing several bowlers defensively (not Wick though) so the runrate is ok but I'd really like to get Eyre out.
Bot crush. I beat the best bot in my series on a GFI (might as well, y'know?) 367-53. I bowled my first wicket on the first ball. Good times. I took second in the series, losing on NRR by about 2.40. Oh well; the winner should handily crush the team he'll play in his qualifier, thus dumping a creampuff into my series. So it'll be another 2-man series, but the other man might as well be a bot.
Starting to bowl to his bowlers and the wickets are coming fast, might get 10 if I can get Lynch out. End of Over 43: 239-7, runrate=5.56, reqrunrate=6.57 (284-8) Stevenson 7-0-32-1 Lynch* 72 (66 balls) Higgs 0 (0 balls)
And that's the end of the match. Los Burritos won by 31 runs. Los Burritos 284-8 Carib Beer XI 253-10 Unless I got overtaken in NRR I believe I have a qualy against a bot for promotion.
WONDERFUL!!! The Bosstones winningconnection Top Order: strong superb Middle Order: competent mediocre Lower Order: abysmal abysmal Seam Bowling: respectable respectable Spin Bowling: proficient proficient Fielding: feeble mediocre It makes sense that I was soundly beaten by him... really it does... the second WTF match for me in the month. I'm REALLY ********ing pissed about this.
Was hoping for a Robot Holocaust qualifier. But, I autopromoted. Did a TIE on the last weekend for nothing. (I also played a robot this week. Yay, highly favorable schedule.) The Premier League beckons. I have to think that my Martinique Serpents are a prohibitive favorite. (snrk)
